people boast of cutting government. when was the last time you heard them cut fire department or cut down on snow removal? in fact the republicans tend to be opposed to spending in general. when it comes to particular spending, remember paul ryan acknowledging he was seeking to get the stimulus money that he was denouncing. but in any case, it's not the democratic position we should put all of the increased revenue into spending. by the way, i believe much of government spending is very important. there are things that we need for the quality of our life. good transportation. public safety. decent education. you can't do those only through the private sector. >> let me ask you quickly, i'd like to use your perspective in 30-plus years you've been in congress, and this is the least productive congress ever. i'm sure i don't need to tell you the numbers but it's 219 bills passed, some of them pretty much inconsequential. i think the previous low number of bills passed was 333. how do you think we got to this point? how di

i do believe in limited government. i believe government has certain priorities and elected officials need to decide what those priorities are. you have to determine what the core responsibility of government is. i was a state senator for eight years as you mentioned. as a state senator i always based my decisions on the priorities that i believe were a responsibility of state government. those were public education, public safety, public infrastructure and taking care of those who truly can't care for themselves. we have to do that on a federal level as well. because government can't be everything to everyone. you have to make those tough choices or we're going to continue to see our debt grow by more than $16 trillion, where we are now. that's not sustainable. that can't continue. and every american knows that. >> woodruff: deb fischer about to be, to become a united states senator from the state of nebraska. you're coming at a very interesting time. welcome. >> thank you so much. woodruff: thank you. >> suarez: find
